Does anyone know what this sort of scallop is called?

I saw these a few days ago in a seafood market in Manila. The seller referred to them as "Japanese scallops" (or possibly Javanese scallops--the market was loud), but I haven't been able to find anything under either name.

They look rather like what in this part of the world are called horse mussels. There are a few different species - New Zealand seems to have its own, as has South Africa. The shell markings on yours look a bit different to the images I've been able to find, StevenC, but the size and shape of the shell looks very close.

Euell Gibbons in his book "Stalking The Blue-Eyed Scallop" says the pen shells are one of the best shellfish to be had. He only mentions the east coast ones (not sure if there are west coast ones - but obviously there are Pacific ones, and Mexican Pacific ones are mentioned in the Wiki). He says the three species on the East Coast of the US are edible and easy to get, with a mask and snorkel. They are not commonly gathered so you could be the only one trying. People sometimes only eat the muscle (like scallops) but all parts of them are edible less the shell (like scallops too). The byssus is used as fiber and it is one of the most prized in the world, and they sometimes have pearls - sometimes black ones (but are not THE black pearl of the South Seas).
